AN OVERVIEW TO THE PROPOSED 2014 SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS
FOR THE CITY OF ARKANSAS CITY
February 13, 2014
Set out in the following pages are the general objectives the proposed 2014 subdivision
regulations are intended to further, and brief summaries of the more significant
proposals for changes to the current subdivision regulations. This memo is not intended
to be a comprehensive or detailed explanation of all proposed changes.
PROPOSED 2014 SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS
Subdivision regulations complement zoning regulations, but differ from them in that they
focus more on the specific details of land development rather than on the types of uses
being proposed. The subdivision regulatory process generally is implemented through a
requirement that subdivision plats be filed and approved before land may be subdivided
and sold, or building permits issued.
Subdivision regulations apply to the division of land into parcels. They govern the
division of a tract of land into two or more parcels, including blocks, lots, streets or other
rights-of-way. They set standards for the construction of public improvements, for the
manner and methods by which those improvements are installed and paid for, and for
the dedication and acceptance of rights-of-way, easements and public improvements.
The division and development of land has a significant and lasting impact upon the
physical environment. Development places demands upon public facilities and services.
Creating new streets and utility systems require significant public and private capital
investment. Failure to properly size and construct sewers and streets, ensure adequate
water supplies, manage stormwater runoff and erosion, and to thoughtfully plan for
public services results in physical and environmental problems which are wasteful of
natural resources and public funds.
ARTICLE 1
There are a number of new “purposes” identified for subdivision regulations (Sec. 1-2).
Several of those relate specifically to land reservation and dedication. Note the
exemptions from the subdivision regulations, especially for land divisions where lots are
all 10 acres or more, and lot splits (Sec. 1-7).
1
ARTICLE 2
This Article proposes new language for appealing city engineer and zoning administrator
decisions regarding subdivision regulations (Sec. 2-1).
The Article includes language stating that there will be no issuance of building permits
unless the subdivision regulations are complied with (Sec. 2-3).
A Utilities Advisory Committee is created (Secs. 2-6, 2-7). The purpose and operation of
that Committee are addressed in other articles.
ARTICLE 3
A large number of new and revised definitions are recommended. As examples, note:
frontage, impact fee, exactions, performance bonds, right-of-way, stormwater
management and drainage.
ARTICLE 4
This Article sets out the standards for the design of subdivisions. It covers those topics
covered now by Chapter 17.12 Minimum Design Requirements.
Current provisions for "Acreage Subdivisions" (17.12.010) are at 4-106. Block standards
(17.12.100) are at 4-201, street standards (17.12.020:090) are at 4-301 and lot
standards (17.12.110) are at 4-401.
Easements (17.12.150:160) are set out at 4-501.
Note draft Sections 4-6 Design Techniques, 4-7 Access Control and 4-8 Land Subject to
Flooding.
At 4-901 are the provisions the City now has for Building Lines (17.12.120).
ARTICLE 5
This Article proposes a modest start toward establishing dedication and exaction
requirements of developers. It provides for, but does not mandate, parkland dedications
or fees in lieu of up to 8% of the fair market value of the subdivided land. It is
understood that any
regulations that allow for dedications/exactions may be
controversial. Consequently, there is an emphasis placed on the non-mandatory
imposition of contributions, including the requirement of a finding by the Governing Body
as to why and how the dedication or payment is necessary to the community.
ARTICLE 6
This Article provides requirements for, and procedures for consideration and action
upon: (1) minor plats (section 6-2); (2) preliminary plats (section 6-3), and (3) final plats
(section 6-4). A procedure for administrative action/approval for certain small-lot plats
and replats is proposed (Sec. 6-5).
ARTICLE 7
This Article provides regulations on required improvements, specifically relating to
streets, sidewalks, storm drainage, monuments, street trees and streetlights, and
general language relating to the provision of utilities. It also provides for a waiver
2
mechanism by action of the Governing Body. While reworded, an attempt was made to
maintain the same basic public improvement requirements as under Chapter 17.16 of
the current subdivisions regulations, e.g., sidewalks (17.16.040).
ARTICLE 8
Provisions for the approval and construction of public improvements are set out in this
Article. There are detailed provisions for the content of engineering drawings (Sec. 8-4)
and the staff and Planning Commission review and approval of the engineering drawings
for final plats (Sec. 8-5:6). The Article also deals with the observation and inspection of
the construction of public improvements (Sec. 8-7:10) and acceptance of those
improvements by the City Commission (Sec. 8-11:12).
ARTICLE 9
The acceptable alternatives for developers to guarantee the construction of public
improvements set out in the subdivision plat are in this Article. Generally, improvements
are constructed or installed either prior to the recording of the final plat or are
guaranteed by bonds, cashier's checks, letters of credit or other surety acceptable to the
City, or by submission of a benefit district petition (Sec. 9-1). Under certain conditions
the City Commission can also require developers to construct and install off-site public
improvements, such as intersections, parks and water, sewer and drainage
infrastructure (Sec. 9-2).
ARTICLE 10
This Article provides for "rule exceptions" from the subdivision regulations. These
exceptions, under this draft, are recommended by the Planning Commission for final
action by the City Commission. The purpose here is to provide for expediency and
fairness to applicants. It would replace current Chap. 17.32
ARTICLE 11
Lot split provisions are set out in this Article. They would take the place of Chap.
17.12.200.
ARTICLE 12
Vacation of plats, rights-of-way, easements and so forth are to receive a Planning
Commission recommendation, with final action by the City Commission (Sec. 12-1).
Procedures for vacation of unrecorded plats (Sec. 12-2), of streets, plats and easements
(Sec. 12-4) and correction of plat errors (12-3) are also included in this Article.
ARTICLE 13
Site Plan approval is another new feature of the proposed regulations. The public policy
and interest rationale for site plan review is set out at Section 13-1. The development
that is subject to site plan approval is identified at Section 13-2. Development standards
are found at 13-7.

5.
Adopt proper design standards and aesthetic standards for manufactured
housing.
6.
Create an overlay zoning classification designed for housing for senior citizens.
7.
Create an overlay zoning classification designed to encourage construction of
affordable housing.
1
8.
Create an overlay zoning classification intended primarily for historic preservation
of residential neighborhoods.
INDUSTRIAL:
1.
Reduce the current three industrial classifications to two zoning districts: light
and heavy.
2.
Identify the appropriate amount of property which should be classified as
industrial, and take proper steps to see it is located at the most appropriate
areas.
COMMERCIAL:
1.
Adopt regulations that adequately accommodate large-scale commercial
developments.
2.
Adopt regulations which do not detract from the downtown being a retail and
office center, and which promote commercial redevelopment downtown.
3.
Create a mixed-use zoning classification where certain commercial development
can occur alongside residential uses.
FORMAT:
1.
Revise the existing administrative procedures and district regulations to make
them as user-friendly (e.g., "plain English") as possible.
2.
Supplemental regulation provisions should be incorporated within each zoning
district regulation, to the extent possible. For example, within each zoning
district, following the list of permitted uses, provisions relating to conditional uses,
temporary uses and accessory uses should be set forth. This helps make the
regulations more readable and organized and in a more logical fashion for the
public and landowners.
MISCELLANEOUS:
1.
The current nonconforming use provisions should be revised to reflect Kansas
law on this subject.
2.
Telecommunications tower regulations, with language requiring co-location, are
proposed.
3.
Wind energy generation is proposed to be allowed within certain zoning districts.
4.
Maintain, and simplify where possible, the platting process for minor
subdivisions.
5.
Simplify where possible the City's sign regulations

II.
PROPOSED 2014 ZONING REGULATIONS
Zoning separates incompatible land uses by delineating zoning districts on a map and
describing uses that are or may be permitted in each district. Zoning allows a
community to plan where it wishes to encourage certain land uses so that the
appropriate public infrastructure may be provided in a cost-effective manner, and to
preserve the assets or the character of a neighborhood, area or community.
GENERAL OBSERVATIONS
1.
Several of the current zoning districts are proposed to be eliminated. Among the
commercial districts, the current RO District is most similar to the proposed C-1,
and current B-1 most resembles the proposed C-2 District. The current district
for general commercial, B-2, would become C-3, and current B-3 becomes C-4
for the downtown area. As for residential districts, the current residential districts
(R-1, R-2, R-2Z, R-3, R-4 and RO) and the M-P mobile home district are
proposed to be revamped using a simplified system of low-, medium- and highdensity housing (R-1, R-2 and R-3). The objective of this change, in short, is to
create significant residential development opportunities for property owners, and
continue the current regulations' flexible pattern of residential development.
2.
This proposal calls for the addition of four new zoning districts: Mixed Use
District, Manufactured Home Subdivision District, Countryside District and
Public District. Five new overlay districts are proposed: College District,
Planned Unit Development District, Historic Conservation District, Elderly
Housing District, and Housing Opportunity District.
3.
Each article containing district regulations has been reformatted to make it more
“user friendly”. The approach followed has basically been to try to include as
much information as possible about each district within the confines of the
particular article for that district – to help reduce the need to flip through the
regulations to find answers to questions about the district that the reader is
interested in. A new page-numbering system and more visible Article and Section
headings should also aid the public in using these regulations.
4.
An important and substantive change to the regulations is to limit the Board of
Zoning Appeals’ authority to only those powers recognized under state law, i.e.,
to grant variances and exceptions, and to hear appeals from decisions of the
Zoning Administrator.
ARTICLE 1
Quite a bit of the current language in the City's Regulations has been retained here,
including purpose (1-2), jurisdiction (1-4), and compliance/permits/certificates (1-6).
Present wording for conflict provisions (1-8) and transitional provisions (1-9) is also
carried forward. These are primarily what are referred to as “boilerplate” provisions, and
deal with the purpose of the regulations and the land area to which they apply.
3
ARTICLE 2
The definition section contains a large number of new terms. Some deletions have been
made from the current list of definitions, usually to remove archaic terms.
For example:
Day Care Facilities – The term “Day Care Facilities” provides new definitions for adult
day care home, child care center, day care home, family day care home, group day care
home and preschools. The emphasis has been upon making these terms as compatible
as possible with definitions used by the state for licensing and registration purposes.
Family – Amended, generally to recognize as a “family” any group of up to four
unrelated persons living together as a household unit.
ARTICLE 3
This Article shows at a glance how the proposed changes take the regulations from its
current 16 districts to 15 districts, plus six overlay districts (3-1). The zoning map is
incorporated into the regulations (3-2), and the rule for zoning of annexed land is set out
(3-3).
ARTICLE 4
Statements explaining purpose or intent have been developed for each of the proposed
zoning districts and overlay districts. This Article provides the public, and property
owners, with an overview to the regulatory approach the City is taking.
ARTICLE 5
A revised Agricultural (A) District is proposed. Permitted and conditional uses are fairly
restricted, with only a few non-agricultural uses allowed. The only residential use, other
than farmhouses, is single-family residential development, with no more than one
dwelling per 20 acres.
ARTICLE 6
This Article sets out most of the regulations pertaining to the proposed three residential
districts: Low Density (R-1) Residential, Medium Density (R-2) Residential and High
Density (R-3) Residential. The permitted residential use in Low-Density is single-family
housing, with duplexes as conditional uses. In the Medium-Density District one- and
two-family housing is permitted, with three-plus family housing allowed as a conditional
use. High Density District regulations allow all types of housing, from single-family to
apartment houses.
In short, the proposed residential district regulations allow
considerable development opportunities for property owners, although residential use is
not entirely cumulative as is the case in the City's current regulations.
The differences among the R-1, R-2 and R-3 Districts, with respect to allowed residential
uses, will be set out in a table of uses, Table 6-1. As for non-residential uses permitted
under Table 6-1, there is considerable consistency among the three zoning districts.
4
The proposed changes make the City’s regulation of group living arrangements
consistent with state group homes law and the Federal Fair Housing Act and in
compliance with the prohibitions in those laws against discrimination on the basis of
mental or physical disabilities and familial status.
Bed and Breakfast – Permitted in R-3 if have nine or fewer sleeping rooms, and as a
conditional use in R-3 if ten or more sleeping rooms.
Group Homes – This term covers those group homes which are declared to be single
family uses by state law (i.e., group homes having no more than ten residents, including
up to eight persons with disabilities and up to two staff). Group homes are permitted
uses in R-1, R-2 and R-3, as required by state law.
Large Group Homes – Permitted in R-3 if fewer than 20 total persons with disabilities
and staff. Large group homes of more than 20 persons are allowed in R-3 as conditional
uses. Also a large group home would be allowed as a conditional use in the R-2 District.
Day Care Facilities – Permitted in R-3 as a permitted or conditional use, depending on
size. Permitted in R-1 and R-2 if having no more than 12 children or adults.
Safe House – Allowed as a permitted use in R-1, R-2 and R-3.
Group Boarding Home for Minors – In R-3 homes of up to 20 residents, including
staff, are permitted uses, and homes above 20 are conditional uses.
Rehabilitation House – Permitted in R-3 as a conditional use if at least 500 sq. ft. of lot
area per occupant more than 20 persons. Allowed in R-2 as a conditional use.
Schools – Elementary schools are permitted uses in R-1, R-2 and R-3. Secondary
schools are permitted in R-2 and R-3, but are a conditional use in R-1. Post-secondary
schools are permitted in R-3 and conditional in R-1 and R-2.
Churches – Permitted uses in R-2 and R-3, and conditional in R-1.
ARTICLE 7
The proposed Countryside District takes the place of the current A-L Light Agricultural
District. It is intended for use in largely undeveloped areas that would support so-called
“cluster development” – a variation of the standard residential subdivision that
accommodates preservation of environmentally significant or sensitive lands and setting
aside of open space. If the City elects to zone its Growth Area, large portions of it are
likely to be Countryside.
ARTICLE 8
The City’s current regulations do not provide a zoning classification for public use land
and buildings. This Public (P) District would be applied to uses such as city hall,
schools and parkland. This classification becomes an alternative to public uses being
either permitted or conditional uses in residential, commercial and industrial districts.
5
ARTICLES 9:10
The commercial zoning district regulations that are proposed are: Office and Service
Business District (C-1), Restricted Commercial District (C-2), General Commercial
District (C-3) and Central Business District (C-4).
The lengthy listings of uses for each commercial district under the current regulations
are brought down to a more manageable, more understandable size by using broader
terminology. It is not the intent of this rewriting to eliminate any use now allowed under
the current zoning regulations.
A quick comparison between the current commercial districts and the proposed districts
shows: current RO and B-1 allow a few residential and many commercial uses. The
proposed C-1 Office and Service Business District would substitute in part for current
RO, as well as for part of current B-1, allowing some of the same uses, and a number of
new commercial uses which are compatible to adjoining residential uses. See also
Article 18, Mixed Use, which involves many of the same uses.
The balance of current RO-Residence District, which allows certain offices, at
neighborhood intensities, and the B-1 Neighborhood Business District, are replaced by
the C-2 Restricted Commercial District.
Current B-2 General Business is similar to the proposed C-3 General Commercial.
Both are designed for retail sales and services located outside the central business
district and having an intensity greater than that suited for neighborhood shopping areas.
The current B-3 CBD would be replaced by the C-4 Central Business District which is
dealt with in both Articles 9 and 10. The uses, and development standards, would be
less restrictive than they are currently.
Trailer parks are regulated as a C-3 commercial use at Sec. 9-11.
ARTICLE 11
This Article provides for subdivisions designed for manufactured homes. The Article
also allows for site-built housing within the same district.
ARTICLE 12
This proposed new overlay residential district, the Elderly Housing Overlay District,
provides incentives to developers to construct detached single-family housing for senior
citizens. Lot area, yard requirements, etc. are lessened for the purpose of promoting
such housing. The incentives are modest but may encourage development that was
noted in the 2013 (and earlier) Comprehensive Plan as being needed.
ARTICLE 13
This Manufactured Home Park District takes the place of current MP, Mobile Home
Park District. It allows only manufactured housing, not mobile homes, that is placed on
rental pads and not placed on permanent foundations. Significant requirements are
proposed for existing as well as new parks.
6
ARTICLE 14
This proposed overlay district, Housing Opportunity (HO-O), can be applied to any R-1
or R-2 zoned property. It allows for higher density development, intended to achieve
lower cost housing.
Other development incentives are provided to encourage
construction of affordable housing.
ARTICLE 15
The draft industrial zoning regulations provide for Light (I-1) and Heavy (I-2) Industrial
Districts. The draft uses broader terminology regarding allowed uses than in the
current I-1, I-2 and I-3 Districts, and thereby shortens the current extensive listing of
uses.
ARTICLE 16
The Planned Unit Development (PUD) regulations for this overlay district are intended
to give considerable flexibility to property owners, to encourage innovation with respect
to type, design and layout of buildings. It is applicable to residential, commercial and
industrial districts. The City's Community Unit Plan regulations, by comparison, appears
limited to residential uses.
ARTICLE 17
The College Overlay District is a new overlay district for property within the R-3 District
or P District. Its purpose is to encourage and accommodate master development plans
prepared by Cowley College and approved by the City.
ARTICLE 18
This proposed new district, Mixed Use (MU), will allow for a number of potential
residential-commercial mixes, all subject to approved design standards. This district is
most likely best-suited for current RO and B-1 district properties as well as other areas
which have had both residential and low-intensity commercial uses co-exist successfully
side-by-side. In a nutshell, property zoned MU can be used for any land use permitted
in the proposed R-2, R-3, C-1 or C-2 districts. Conditional uses in those same four
districts would also be conditional uses allowed in the MU district.
ARTICLE 19
This Article would allow domestic wind energy conversion systems as accessory uses in
the A, CS, P, I-1, and I-2 districts. Certain height and buffer standards are set out.
ARTICLE 20
A number of special rules applicable to some or all zoning districts are set out in this
Article. Certain height exceptions and front, side and rear yard requirements are found
here (20-2). There is also a set of rules for buffering residential areas from commercial
and industrial uses (20-5). Accessory uses are identified (20-7:8), and special rules
relating to fences and residential-design manufactured homes are set out (20-9, 20-10).
7
This Article incorporates much of current 18.12.180 (accessory buildings and fencing)
and 18.12.190 (front yards), 18.12.200 (side yards) and 18.12.220 (corner visibility).
Finally, home occupation regulations are provided, including a non-exclusive listing of
permitted home occupations, as well as a listing of prohibited home occupations (20-12).
ARTICLE 21
The rules pertaining to non-conforming uses, lots and structures have been
extensively revised to make them as precise as possible. This Article is essential to an
understanding as to when and how new regulations can be made applicable to existing
uses and existing lots. One section deals specifically with nonconforming manufactured
houses (21-5).
ARTICLE 22
New parking space and loading regulations will affect new commercial and residential
construction and replace the numerous current sections that are found at 18.12.060,
18.12.100 and elsewhere.
ARTICLE 23
This Article contains most of the regulations relating to permitting, erecting and
maintaining telecommunication towers. This is a subject upon which the City’s ability
to regulate has been limited by federal law.
ARTICLE 24
The objective of the Historic Conservation Overlay District (HC-O) is to encourage
property owners of historic commercial buildings and homes in historic neighborhoods to
request this special zoning designation and thereby trigger certain development and
design standards to guide new construction and redevelopment within the district.
ARTICLE 25
This Article sets out the powers and duties of the Board of Zoning Appeals. The
provisions limit the BZA’s powers to those set out specifically under Kansas law –
specifically, the authority to hear and decide appeals, and to grant or deny variances and
exceptions. Provision is made for an administrative variance (25-11).
ARTICLE 26
This Article governing procedures for amending the zoning regulations and zoning
map makes many important changes to the current regulations. It provides considerable
new detail as to the procedures to be followed by the Planning Commission and
Governing Body when handling rezoning applications and applications for conditional
use permits.
This Article also provides a detailed explanation of the factors to be considered by the
Planning Commission and Governing Body during a rezoning, and also consideration of
a similar set of factors for conditional use permits.
8
ARTICLE 27
Sign regulations are currently found in each of the zoning districts. New requirements
and limitations are proposed and attention paid to administrative process to ensure
understanding and proper application of regulations on the location, maintenance and
removal of signs.
ARTICLE 28
The City's 2010 Floodplain Management Ordinance is incorporated by reference in this
Article.
ARTICLE 29
(Reserved for Future Use)
ARTICLE 30
This Article on enforcement of the zoning regulations replaces portions of current
18.84.230 and 18.84.240.
